Well, I thought we could easily make it without having a Food Processor and I thought wrong…For almost 7yrs this was possible and then we started making hummus and my hopes were dashed. 
Well, mainly because the “smoothness” achieved by a Food Processor would be far more superior than what our blender was able to achieve. For the last week, I have been researching what the eventual purchase will be and I’m leaning towards the cuisinart Prep 11 Plus DLC-2011 for many of the reasons listed in the Pros section of this particular review. As is well documented within this blog, I like to keep it simple in the kitchen and too many gadgets is kind of the antithesis of that mantra, but as I mentioned, for 7yrs we were able to handle tasks fairly well, but Hummus and Breadcrumbs alone would be adequate reasons to take the plunge into the Food Processor pool.
After a few weeks with the new appliance, I will make sure to provide my thoughts and impressions.
Feel free to leave any comments on your favorite food processor and the pros/cons of your particular model.
